Abstract

The level of Triglycerides and total cholesterol were determined in the liver and muscle of fish T. zillii and M. capito seasonally during (August 2014 to May 2015) from east, middle, and west of Lake Qarun. The results revealed that the concentrations of triglycerides were significant increased (p≤0.05) in two fish species comparison with the control fish samples collected from unpolluted site (fish farm). Also, the present study revealed that total cholesterol in the liver and muscle of T. zilli was increased significantly (p≤ 0.05) in comparison with the control fish samples collected from unpolluted site (fish farm) with percentage ranged between 9.20-73.87% except in the liver sample collected from western part in summer that was not significant increased with percentage 2.66%. While total cholesterol in the liver and muscle of M. capito was increased significantly (p≤ 0.05) in comparison with the control with percentage ranged between 31.03-184.2%.
